Perhaps, my english is a problem :( Here is part of info file with
description of
_fixpath function, I can't see any words about adding full path of
WORKING directory 
to the file name :

>>>
This function canonicalizes the input path IN_PATH and stores the
result in the buffer pointed to by OUT_PATH.

The path is fixed by removing consecutive and trailing slashes, making
the path absolute if it's relative, removing "." components, collapsing
".." components, adding a drive specifier if needed, and converting all
slashes to '/'.  DOS-style 8+3 names of directories which are part of
the pathname, as well as its final filename part, are returned
lower-cased in OUT_PATH, but long filenames are left intact.
_preserve_fncase, for more details on letter-case conversions in
filenames.
